Privacy Policy

As part of our day-to-day business and other activities we sometimes need to collect personal information from our clients and potential clients to ensure that we can meet their needs for the range of services and products offered by us and provide them with information about our services.

Your privacy is important to us and it is our policy to respect the confidentiality of information and the privacy of individuals. This policy outlines how we manage your personal information supplied to us by you or a third party in connection with the services we provide you or which we collect from your use of our services. It also details your rights in respect of our processing of your personal information.

This privacy policy will be reviewed from time to time to take account of new obligations and technology, changes to our operations and practices and to make sure it remains appropriate to the changing regulatory and legal environment. Any personal information we hold will be governed by our most current privacy policy.

Any reference to 'us', 'our', 'we' or 'Planet Arowana' in this privacy policy is a reference to us as the context requires unless otherwise stated. Similarly, any reference to 'you', 'your', 'yours' or 'yourself' is a reference to any of our clients and potential clients as the context requires unless otherwise stated.

This privacy policy applies to the processing activities of Planet Arowana Limited. Planet Arowana Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 08393384 and whose registered office is 398 Coast Road, Pevensey Bay, East Sussex, England, BN24 6NY.

As part of providing services, or information about our services, to you, we may need to verify your identity to set you up as a client. This may include third parties carrying out credit (if applicable) or identity checks on our behalf. If you are an actual or potential client, we may collect the following types of information about you: name, address and contact details; date of birth and gender; location data; and any other similar information.

We obtain this information in a number of ways through your use of our services or other dealings with us, including through any of the Planet Arowana Ltd websites and mobile applications and from information provided in the course of ongoing client service correspondence. We may also collect this information about you from third parties either through bought-in third party marketing lists or publicly available sources.

We may also obtain personal information about you through your use of our websites or apps, or through the use of cookies on our websites and/or apps, in particular by recording which pages you look at on our websites. We may ask for other personal information voluntarily from time to time (for example, through market research, surveys or special offers).

If you choose not to provide the information we need to fulfil your request for a specific product or service, we may not be able to provide you with the requested product or service. We may record any communications, electronic, by telephone, in person or otherwise, that we have with you in relation to the services we provide to you and our relationship with you. These recordings will be our sole property and will constitute evidence of the communications between us.

As part of using your personal information for the purposes set out above, we may disclose your information to: service providers and specialist advisers who have been contracted to provide us with administrative, IT, financial, regulatory, compliance, insurance, research or other services; and anyone authorised by you.

Generally, we require that organisations outside Planet Arowana Ltd who handle or obtain personal information acknowledge the confidentiality of this information, undertake to respect any individual's right to privacy and comply with all relevant data protection laws and this privacy policy. Please note that the use of your personal information by external third parties who act as data controllers of your personal information is not covered by this privacy policy.

Where our use of your personal information requires your consent, such consent will be provided in accordance with the applicable contract we may have entered into with you or as set out in our communication with you from time to time. If we rely on your consent as our legal basis for processing your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us using the contact details set out in section 2.10 of this privacy policy.

We always take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure that your information is secure. In particular, we train our employees who handle personal information to respect the confidentiality of client information and the privacy of individuals. We regard breaches of your privacy very seriously and will impose appropriate penalties, including dismissal where necessary.

We may from time to time use personal information about you to form profiles about you so that we can provide the very best products and services we can. Our web pages and e-mails may contain web beacons or pixel tags or any other similar type of data analysis tools which allow us to track receipt of correspondence and to count the number of users that have visited our webpage or opened our correspondence.

We may use your personal information to send you marketing communications by email or phone or other agreed forms (including social media campaigns) to ensure that you are always kept up to date with our latest products and services. Where we send you marketing communications we will either do so as it is in our legitimate interest or with your consent.

Access: If you ask us, we will confirm whether we are processing your personal information and, if so, provide you with a copy of that personal information (along with certain other details). If you require additional copies, we may need to charge a reasonable administration fee.

Rectification: If the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to have it rectified. If we have shared your personal information with others, we will let them know about the rectification where possible.

Erasure: You can ask us to delete or remove your personal information in certain circumstances such as where we no longer need it, or you withdraw your consent (where applicable) provided that we have no legal obligation to retain that data. Such requests will be subject to any retention limits we are required to comply with in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Processing Restrictions: You can ask us to 'block' or suppress the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances such as where you contest the accuracy of that personal information or object to us processing it. It will not stop us from storing your personal information though. We will tell you before we lift any restriction.

Objection: You can ask us to stop processing your personal information if we are: relying on our own or someone else's legitimate interests to process your personal information (except if we can demonstrate compelling legal grounds for the processing); processing your personal information for direct marketing; or processing your personal information for research unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling: If we have made a decision about you based solely on an automated process that affects your ability to use the services or has another significant effect on you, you can ask not to be subject to such a decision unless we can demonstrate that such a decision is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and us.

Safeguarding the privacy of your information is important to us, whether you interact with us personally, by phone, by mail, over the internet or by any other electronic medium. We hold personal information in a combination of secure computer storage facilities, paper-based files and other records and take steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

When we consider that personal information is no longer needed, we will remove any details that will identify you and will securely destroy the records. Where you have written to us to opt out of receiving marketing communications we will hold your details on our exclusion list so that we know you do not want to receive these communications.
